Nicolas

« Passionate founder »

A globetrotter and passionate brewer, Nicolas is the co-founder of the Léopold 7 Brewery.
Trained as a brewer engineer, he took off for several years, full of beans, to earn his stripes in Spain, Australia, Africa and Asia.
He is driven by 21st century values: humanity, social commitment and ecology. Every day he wakes up with the same motto: “The future is now!” He wants to build this future straight away, right here, but not just here… In Africa too!
Did you know that Nicolas is just as big a fan of sports? He regularly takes part in marathons, always accompanied by his wife Séverine.

Olivier

“Craft Man”

After having slogged away for several years in the corporate world, Olivier longed to return to his Belgian roots and take part in a more local, human project which would offer him a challenge right here in Wallonia.
It was therefore a natural move for this beer lover (veering on beer geek) to take over the management of the Léopold 7 Brewery in 2020. But he never hesitates to roll up his sleeves and get to work on the production line, just for the joy of it!
Did you know that Olivier is a master of BBQ and a hockey fan? Two hobbies that combine perfectly with his love of craft beers!

Maxime

« Max Gyver »

Our very own MacGyver! Mechanics, electricity, automation, welding… Maxime paces around the brewery with the look of someone who doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.
Never lacking ideas and a will to learn, he handles maintenance like he handles the toughest tracks! Because in fact, Maxime is also a ferocious triathlete! You’ll often see him arriving at the brewery by bike, a smile on his face. Even after the toughest days of bottling, he turns to us with a carefree smile and says that he’s going for a swim to relax…
We have to say, although he spends his days replacing broken parts, there’s no replacing Maxime!

Vanessa

« The smile »

Always cheerful, Vanessa brings her positive attitude wherever she goes! Vanessa previously worked as a Hungarian/French translator for the European Commission. For her family, she wanted to settle in the Province of Namur, in order to live by the values which she holds so dear: sharing and authenticity.
Did you know that it was our sustainable brewery project that caught Vanessa’s eye, back when she began her position as Wallonia sales representative?
Now she admits that the quality of the beer and the team dynamic also have a lot to do with it!

Laurent

« QUIET FORCE »

Passionate, always available and ready to listen, Laurent is a man of the field who appreciates a long-term relationship with his customers much more than “one-shots”. With over 20 years’ experience as a salesman in the brewing industry, he has a solution for everything. He couldn’t sell a product he didn’t like… well, he’s at Leopold7! And when he’s not working with customers, he’s more interested in reading or riding his motorbike.

Gaetan

« MIDDLE EARTH »

After having created and managed the Cabane des Brasseurs in Huy for several years, Gaetan joined us after the summer of 2022. His passions: his two daughters and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And of course, brewing, researching new recipes and tasting good beers.

Mathis

« BONO »

When he puts on his safety goggles, you’d think he was at a U2 concert… A big fan of alternative rock, he also plays the guitar and bass. Mathis is our IFAPME trainee at the brewery. Passionate about beer, he has been brewing at home for a few years now and doesn’t hesitate to share it with his colleagues.
